Spirituality and the Brain
#3
RE: Spirituality and the Brain
PR,

Where in my post do I say that self-trancendance is a bad thing because it is all in your head?

Self-trancendence defined as, "reflects a decreased sense of self and an ability to identify one's self as an integral part of the universe as a whole" seems like a bad idea to me. Before we can understand how we fit into the grand scheme, it is important to be able to know who we really are. Seeking to disconnect from ourselves is a bad idea. It is better to see interactions for what they really are.

Mathematics is something you will need to hash out with Adrian. Smile
